  • I’m sure they will have ads in the Xbox launcher because why wouldn’t Microsoft.

    But it does look like it essentially kills all the graphical and backend items of windows for single loading this UI from the videos, and then boots up the extra items when requested for the full OS.
    I would actually be worried it won’t properly kill them swapping back and then you lose the gains until a reboot.

    I really want this to be a low margin device they sell meant to boost gamepads subscriptions and it ends up being easy to modify or control cause I would literally reward them with the subscription for that.
    If only they can resist being Microsoft.




  • The American electorate is not who is writing your comments.

    You are distinctly ignoring other critiques to focus on gender as the main component. Do not assign your own bias to everyone else. We do not all think as you do and can’t be blamed for what you think to be true.

    Statistically across the world women win elections at the same rate as men.

    Support a female president you want then instead of telling them all that none of them can win because of their gender. It makes you sound like the sexist.




  • Not government housing. Government assured or recognized rental agencies. For proof of payment. It’s part of the boring bureaucracy parts.

    And primarily focusing on first generation homebuyers benefits people who have had no previous generations living in the country which is directly beneficial to 1st or second generational immigrants.

    I am adjusting my position as I gain further information but the the proposed plans did not just offer free cash to assist the average American in buying a home. That’s still at the base of my point and still accurate. I am now aware that the plan was proposed by Biden and adjusted late into the campaign by Harris after backlash for it.

    How much conversation does it take to get to the truth? However long it takes for both sides to agree on what it is.



  • The Biden-Harris administration initially proposed providing $25,000 in downpayment assistance only for 400,000 first-generation home buyers—or homebuyers whose parents don’t own a home—and a $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers.

    This is from Harris’s campaign announcement. The extension to millions would be the 4 year plan. And was adjusted again after Biden’s original proposal of this was panned for being what I originally sourced. The very last offering she made by the end of the campaign was looser on restrictions.

    I was incorrect, in that she removed the tax credit and made wider eligibility though stated that those still meeting the original criteria would get more assistance, though all would be required to meet the 2 year of proven rental payments through an assured rental agency.



  • Mostly pro immigrant news sources that were happy about the benefit this would give directly to those communities and the fact that it targets people that have no other family members with a house in the US which those of us with older parents who were born in the US likely have.

    The $10,000 credit for only first time homebuyers was a later addition and was not even set as it was more an additional thought tacked on and does nothing for actually giving money for the down payment but only credits you after you bought it.

    Not helpful.



  • Specifically, it targets individuals and families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are looking to buy their first home. The proposal offers up to $25,000 in down payment support, with more generous assistance available for first-generation homebuyers, meaning those whose parents do not currently own a home.

    Proposed a $10,000 tax credit for first time home buyers.

    Yeah, it was a shame it was so restrictive, literally was also set for a limit of 400,000 individuals when first proposed too.

    Its a criticism of the garbage solutions that were brought forward for good headlines rather than actual support.
